Yammm Updated

/sigh

While in there I've added 2 features from Yammm v2 in addition to the fix.

Added improved logic for matching against remakes if the Year is specified in the folder name

Added several "directives" for telling Yammm what the proper movie is if it doesn't fnd it:

Append a tag w/ the imdb, i.e.: Whatever [imdb=tt0892769]

Append a tag w/ the tmdb, i.e.: Whatever [tmdb=13550]

Rename the folder name to the imdb, i.e.: tt0892769

Do you Yammm?

Yammm started out as a quick project that I honestly thought no one would really be interested in other than myself as there are quite a few good applications out there already.
The problem was that none of the apps that I tried (quite a few) really suited my needs so Yammm was born. I've been a little slow with releases
lately as my life has been very busy, good and bad, but I will continue to improve Yammm and try to accomdate as many user requests as possible. If possible please leave feedback
and\or feature requests via e-mail to mocnull.ohnikimnull@mmmay or over at
thegreenbutton.

Yammm runs as a Windows Service and will download meta data, artwork, rename folders, rename files and\or create playlists. Metadata can be any combination of dvdid.xml, mymovies.xml and\or XBMC nfo file. All meta information and artwork is provided via either themoviedb.org or thetvdb.com. If you haven't checked them out please do so and contribute where possible.

The primary reason for creating Yammm was meta manager that runs "headless" without ANY user interaction and used folder.jpg instead of custom artwork locations. This is important to me as I use various HTPC software depending on the situation and development. I also found that most did not match well. Yammm uses various checks other than the provider's score value.

Features

Artwork

Yammm can download both poster and backdrop artwork. Either image can optionally be resized.
This was added per request to help reduce lag opening your Movie Library. My recommended size is
Medium with a quality of 92. The visual different between 100 and 92 is minimal but the file
size is significant. You can play with different resolutions to see what you find is acceptable.
As long as you have Yammm create a backup of the original (enabled by default) it will not have to
redownload the artwork if you choose to increase or decrease the image size as it will use the original
image for resizing.

Folder Structure

Yammm currently only looks as movie folders (TV support is currently being tested).
This means as a folder is checked the name will be used for matching. A folder name is
broken into three parts. The title, year and "tags". i.e. For "Cidade de Deus (2002)
[City of God] [Director's Cut]" the year is 2002, the tags are City of God and Director's
Cut and the title is "Cidade de Deus". Yammm will ignore any tags when searching for a
matching movie but will preserve them when renaming the folder.

If you currently have all your movies in a single file you can use the below command
to create a subfolder for each movie and move the file into it.

Note: Ensure you cut\paste as a single line in a command prompt from the folder you
have all your movie files

Folder Rename

Yammm will optionally rename matching movie folders to "Title (Year) [Tags]". If the movie is a foreign film Yammm will also attempt to append the local title as a tag. i.e. "City of God" will be renamed to "Cidade de Deus (2002) [City of God]". Here are some more examples:

Yammm determines the "primary" movie in a folder by grouping similar named files togethor. The largest combined size is considered the primary movie. This is to prevent trailers and samples files from being touch.

If it a single file then it renames it to "Title (Year)". If there are multiple files then they are renamed to "Title (Year) [# of ##]". All associated files are also renamed. To give an example:

Yammm will optionally create playlists for movies spanning over several files.
It can also optionally hide the actual files so only the playlist is shown and not the individual files.

Note: Due to a bug in W7 Media Center hidden files are still visible in the Movie
Library though properly hidden in the Video Library. A work-around is pending release.

Metadata

Yammm can currently create any combination of the below three metadata files.
OML, MM3 and additional support is being tested as well

WMC (*.dvdid.xml): If enabled Yammm can create dvdid.xml files for matching movies.
When possible it will use the real ID (CRC64) otherwise it will create one. When enabled
you must specifiy which accounts to create the corresponding cache files. This allows you
to keep your HTPC and media center extenders Movie Library metadata in sync. If present
Windows 7 Movie Library will display the metadata.

MyMovies (mymovies.xml): If enabled Yammm will create mymovies.xml files for each movie
using metadata from either AMG if a real disc id is found or themoviedb. The mymovies.xml file is also
used by popular 3rd party video libraries such as Media Browser and OML.

XBMC (*.nfo): If enabled Yammm will create nfo files for each movie
using metadata from either AMG if a real disc id is found or themoviedb.

Yammm also helps additional HTPC software such as Boxee by renaming files so that they can easily
find corresponding metadata

Note:

Requires .NET Fx 4

Rename and image overwrite is disabled by default.

Mapped drives must be added using their UNC Path

Requires admin rights to the movie folders and admin rights to run Yammm Config.

Currently only detects movies (TV series is in testing

Currently only supports a single rename format: "Title (Year) [Tags]

Run the Yammm Config application to Add\Remove Watched Folders

Meta XML files will not be overwritten, I will update soon with an option to update missing information for existing meta files (i.e. dvdid.xml, mymovies.xml, ...

I purposely did not include a way to manually edit the meta data (Note: This is changing in v1.2). Please help the community and contribute to The Movie DB.
